Merry Christmas to all sports and sports betting lovers! After the Christmas holidays, the actions of the different soccer leagues in the European continent continue.
In the Italian Serie A, the teams do not rest, and this weekend, we will have a spectacular end of the year with the 18th matchday of the 2024/25 season. It is not only the fact that the teams will say goodbye to 2024 on the right foot or a positive note but also that the fight for the top of the standings is on fire, so every point is essential.
For now, Atalanta managed to storm the top of the table, winning their last eleven games played. However, they have Napoli and Inter very close in the table, so they cannot take their foot off the accelerator.
So far, we have enjoyed a very even season, and we expect it to stay that way until the end, so we will have plenty of emotions in every matchday.
Now, one of the best matches we will have in this matchday 18 will be, without a doubt, between Lazio and Atalanta.

Why bet on Lazio?
Lazio has had a positive season so far, but they need more consistency if they want to stay in the fight for the top of the standings. They are currently fourth in the table, with a record of 11 wins, one draw, and five losses, with 32 goals scored and 14 conceded.
While everything seems positive for the Roman side, they have alternated between wins and losses in their last five matches (three victories and two defeats). If this had not happened, Lazio would be much closer to Atalanta in the fight for the top of the standings.
The Roman team is six points behind Atalanta, so this match is fundamental for their aspirations and for Napoli and Inter, who are waiting to regain the top of the standings.
Lazio come into this matchday on the back of an excellent away win over Lecce by 2-1.
Why bet on Atalanta?
On the other hand, we have Atalanta, the surprise package so far in the 2024/25 Italian Serie A season.
They currently lead the standings with an impressive record of 13 wins, one draw, and three losses, with 42 goals scored and 19 conceded. While the team’s offense is working very well, it is more than clear that they need their defense to be more solid, as that will be the only way they can hold on to the top of the standings.
LA Dea has shown a truly spectacular level of play so far, and their star striker Mateo Retegui, as well as Ademola Lookman, have taken it upon themselves to be latent threats on the offensive side. Retegui has scored 12 goals so far, while Lookman has nine.
As mentioned, Atalanta have won their last eleven Serie A matches, the most recent being at home against Empoli, with a 3-2 score.
